Chapter 616 It Impacted My Performance
Hastily carrying her bag, Cora walked upstairs while Byron followed her and kept grumbling, “Heartless! You can’t be so indifferent after just sleeping with me!”

Cora turned back to glare at him, who quickly smiled, “Okay, I was joking. Go rest and call me when you wake up.”
Apparently, his easy surrender made Cora feel slightly better.
She gave a light snort and proceeded upstairs.
Cora had overslept and woke up close to noon.
Sara was cutting up food for Martin when she saw Cora coming out of the room. “You should rest more if you’re tired. I can take care of things here.”
Cora felt a little embarra*sed. Sara thought she was tired from
seeing patients.
But in fact, she had been stuck with an unreasonable man.
“Oh, by the way, Byron called just now, asking what you were up to. Did you two have another argument?”
Her question made Cora blush even more.

Chapter 616 It Impacted My Performance They weren’t arguing. They were practically fighting in the car!
And Byron wasn’t following the rules of engagement!
So fearing that Cora might get angry and refuse to answer his call, Byron called Sara instead.
“No, we didn’t argue. I probably turned off my phone, so he couldn’t reach me.”
Fortunately, Sara didn’t pursue the matter any further. “Ah! What does Sir Lloyd like? William said he is coming tomorrow and wants to bring the birthday gift, but we’re not sure what will be suitable.”
“No need. I’ve already prepared a gift.” Cora said.
But Sara insisted, “What you’ve prepared is your personal gift. We want to prepare something on behalf of us. They shouldn’t be mixed.”
“Then maybe a painting or calligraphy. He seems interested in
those.”
“Alright, I’ll have your father find a few nice pieces in the safe later.”
As soon as they finished talking, the doorbell rang.
Sara went to open the door and led Byron inside.

“Not yet.”
“Then let’s cat together. I’ve prepared a lot of dishes for lunch.”
“Sure.”
Byron intentionally came at lunchtime to join them.
Naturally, he spotted Cora at the table.
She must have just woken up, for she was still in her pajamas.
They were very conservative, covering her entirely.
The moment Cora looked up, and she noticed Byron’s gaze fixed on a certain area of her. Instantly, her cheeks turned red, and she quickly lowered her head to have her meal.
Byron found her eating with gusto, so after sitting next to her, he started to scoop her favorite dishes onto her plate.
“Eat more if you’re hungry.”
Cora felt like he was doing it on purpose.
After all, he wanted to have another round last night.
But Cora declined him with the excuse that she was hungry.
Sara served Byron some soup and then noticed that the
Chapter 616 It Impacted My Performance atmosphere at the table was inexplicably awkward.
Cora wolfed down her food, seemingly ignoring Byron’s affectionate gazes,
But what about Byron?
He was happily serving Cora dishes, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Later that evening, Byron suddenly sent Cora several pictures of cars, asking her, “Which one do you like?”
“Are you buying another new car?” Cora was confused. After all, Byron was only in Leucrest Town for a few days, yet he kept buying cars.
Byron quickly called her, sounding quite serious.
But his words made Cora blush again.
“I felt that the backseat of the car last night was not wide enough, which impacted my performance!”
